YOUTH CREATE 2003!
Cathy Pino Dishes on YE's Newest Summer Program
by Cathy Pino
Plans for Youth Create are well under way once again as we
look ahead to this summer's programs. What is Youth Create, you
ask? It's a new summer program in which high schoolers
join their peers and artists-in-residence to hone their skills as worship
leaders and as artists.*
Youth Create got off to a great start in July of 2001 when
artists such as Lost And Found, Agape, Crosseyed, Rachel Kurtz, Kjel Alkire,
Scott Stivers and Peder Eide and young people from all over the country
convened in Minneapolis for a week of workshops. Topics included songwriting,
liturgy, and worship leading as well as roundtable discussions on issues
such as "The Role of Youth in the Church" and "Sacred and
Secular Music."

the members of HappyFunTime. This was
disappointing, naturally, but I was still determined to find out about this
“HappyFunTime Video Premiere.”

Some of you have
seen the marvelous art in our Total Family Advent and Lent PowerPoint
presentations. A few of you have even jumped over to visit the artist, Dr.
He Qi , at his online gallery at www.heqiarts.com.
I am wondering if
all of you would consider assisting us in arranging for Dr. He Qi and his
family to immigrate to America?
Here's the scoop…
